I think of the piano riff every time someone brings up smoking a blunt. just another RBX song really, but the topic is right I guess. kind of feel like High Powered was a better instrumental but theyre close enough



fuck it, my favorite Dr Dre song doesnt even include Dr Dre, figure that one out...

 
^
whoa, called the fuck out :D

I think it'd be pretty cool to have High Powered play every time I entered and exited a building

might get complicated when revolving doors are thrown into the mix, not my problem tbh.

listening to: early kanye shit

 
This thread is awesome. I totally suck at classic rap in songpop. My opponents know to use it against me. These songs are totally ones I see and now all together I can study them and win! Guru however always pops up under Acid Jazz. I like the sound of Guru but never listened much. Definately on my list of things to do. Reminds me of Roots Manuva

Guru was good at describing things with his words but sometimes it seemed like he was too monotone. not that other rappers really changed emotion a lot either, but at least like a little bit. your voice really is like 1/4th of your rapping ability imo and its the one thing you cant really change.

just ask AZ why he was never as big as Nas or Scientifik why he was never big period or Meek Mill why he can say the same phrases over and over again but it still sounds catchy.

its the voice, which is another reason why I feel Tupac and Biggie arent even close tbh. I cant even understand half of what Tupac is saying sometimes, I never thought that when Biggie rapped.

Sadat X says some funny shit, no way would I want to listen to one of his cds start to finish

Lil Wayne sounds like a teenager and thusly is not taken seriously by most people except those who hate him

Currensy is a better rapper than Lil Wayne but sounds like he has marbles in his mouth

Kool G Rap is one of the few who was able to turn a less than desirable voice into success but his was more of a lisp than anything so when you rap fluidly enough its not as noticeable

MF Doom always sounds like he's rapping in the opposite direction and just randomly..... trails off lower and lower in volume sometimes...
 
KRS reminds me of the Lebron James of rap-although KRS isn't my favorite or the best lyricist, he lives by that "no mistakes allowed" way of rapping

KRS One has a cool voice, so that's like 1/4th of it by my calculations

if he had more consistent production I enjoyed he would be in my top 5. not really his fault, but kind of is at the same time
 
that chick is possibly the most obnoxious female rapper ive ever heard and not nearly hot enough to warrant her shitty musical ability

what happened TI? you had Meek Mill signed and then fucked everything up by going to jail and having a reality show



damn this beat and bus stations, lol

she tries way too hard to look like Nicki Minaj who tries way too hard to look like Lil Kim who was the actual trendsetter. nice body, nice makeup crew, thats all i gotta say about her
